PBEM game "Not Stupid But Slow": Running

[Alneyan]

Yellow Cactus: thanks for reminding me to ask about the game Version! I could do either 2.12 or 2.13, and so do not care much either way. While 2.13 fixes some bugs (including cheating options), it also brings a couple of problems from what I heard (Alchemists' Stone and one other magic item).

Ighalli: I would have no problem with having a Blood nation in here.

You can start to email Pretender files, unless you feel that a map change will force you to change your Pretender design, or even to switch nations.

Speaking of the map, with the other matter brought up by Deccan, there is also the small size of Desert Eye that will become a problem. We are currently eight players (assuming both Yellow Cactus and Ighalli join in), which is probably a bit too crowded for Desert Eye. Karan might do the trick here; it should have enough provinces for Atlantis, and enough for land-based nations. As usual, feel free to comment on the map and/or to suggest others.

Lastly, here goes the current settings as discussed during this thread. My apologises for forgetting to update the first post previously.

- A PBEM game hosted by myself (not TCP/IP)
- Turnaround is set to 48 hours, and will run every 24 hours if everyone gets their files in before this moment. The turns should more or less run at the same hour of the day (as much as real life and Murphy's laws will allow).
- Independent Strength: 9 (as asked by En Forcer)
- Magic Research: Very Difficult
- Magic site frequency: 50
- Map: to be determined (Desert Eye? Karan? Another?)
- Version: either 2.12 or 2.13, depending on the preferred Version of most players.
- All else set as default

The current players are:
- Boron: Ermoria
- Deccan: Man
- Enforcer: Pangaea
- Graeme Dice: Pythium
- Ighalli: Abysia
- Vicious Love: Atlantis
- Yellow Cactus: Ulm
- Myself: Arcoscephale

I'd prefer to play with v2.13. My pretender is in the mail!

If someone does not know my mail address (it should be displayed publicly in my profile), it is alneyan AT yahoo DOT fr (replace AT with @ and DOT with .)

If you would like to receive a notification when I receive your turn, I will be setting up a separate mail for this purpose. It will enable me to make an automated answer when I receive a mail on this address, and so you will know whether your mail has been received or not much more quickly. And if you do not wish to use this mail, you will only have to keep on using my regular mail address.

This mail will be available on dominions2@yahoo.fr (no need for spam protection here; spammers will only get more spam in return), but there will be no other difference with my standard mail.

Edit: However, the subject of these notification mails cannot be changed, and will be "Yahoo - Message d'Absence" (Away Message). Grr.
